Folks, what do you think about this project:?
Chevy 3500 Dooley Slammer

http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado01.jpg

I was thinking about putting under the hood a '90 Corvette ZR1-LT5 engine.
I want to paint it black / orange candy
The wheels are from Aoshima.

I would like to hear suggestions and if possible, some pictures in that style.

Thanks in advance!

where did you get the dish for those rear wheels!?

Keep that paint scheme. I like it. Paint it, deep dark maroon red. There has been enough of that black/orange/silver painted silverados.

my neighbor has a truck simular, in a tan color, pretty sweet pickup!

Hey!

That is awesome work, esspecially the lowering! I have the exact same model. I wanted to lower it but I had no luck, after all my attempts to lower it I just gave up and tried to modify it, and in the process wrecked it up.

Do you have a AIM or MSN messanger? I would really appriciate it if you could tell me how you lowered it. Thanks!

It is a simply exercise. I caught two rings of other Aoshima wheels and I joined them, making a wide dish. Then I put the same front wheel in the tire, giving the appearance of inverted wheel.

Well... really has a lot of this black / orange / silver scheme... but I like that combination black / orange. I wondering to do some ghost graphs in the orange area, with some stars ou somestrips....
A friend of mine (thanks Magli) just drew this scheme: the darkest area would be the black. The clearest area would be the orange, with the strips in the ghost style.
What do you think about it?

I say use that color scheme!!!!!!!!!

I have this same kit, and now I know what to do with it!! Keep us posted on the progress!! Before you get slammed, post this build in the completed and progress thread!!!!!!!!!!!

:bigthumb:

Some kind of 2 tone paint would look good

Yea that color scheme looks perfect! But please make a bed cover for it and IMO it would look really nice if you let the stripes run along the whole car. And maybe insert a hood scoop, I don´t know if you´re planning to do a more "clean" build because if you are I don´t think you should use a hood scoop.

Something like this;

Take a look at this site (http://www.afxnscaleresin.150m.com/hood_scoops.htm) and let your imagination flow...

I don´t know about you but I think something like that would look very nice.

I think that those colour could work. Throw some silver stripes to it.

Hey Drago, before you start a new project, how about you finish the pendant projects? :grinno: Can you remember of the Chevy 58 that you promised to be a stunning project, and it is parked on your desk? :iceslolan

Regards and Happy New Year (for all people...from Brazil)
:naughty: :naughty: :naughty:

Weel, it s a pretty good work to lower this one, especially with the terrible chassis that comes with the kit. I'll build a new chassis with new "A" arms e all new suspension!

ol' dude
OK Man... I'm already providing the pictures and the text. Unhappily, the updatings will be a little slow, because I am with other projects in the desk! But, stay on! I'll put a new progress thread as soon it's possible!

DukeMan
Sorry, but, What is IMO? Thanks for the website and for the scoop idea, but i think i'll go with the clean style. And about the bed cover, I was thinking exactly about leaving without it, so the back suspension will show up. Something like this:
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/0404tr_chevy05_z.jpg
What you guys think about it?

Dirty Runner
My friend Outlaw, you're absolutely right! But that '56 Chevy (not 58) is drive me crazy! A lot of scratch... URGHHH!!!!!! So, i decided give us a break, you know... But, this one Silverado maybe bring me up the same problems! I hope not! I'm waiting for your great 2005 models! Don't take so long ok?
A great 2005 for us man!

And special thanks to all freinds that sent ideas and praises!

Sorry, but, What is IMO?
In My Opinion, I did´nt know either in the beginning, but I tell you it´s very useful! I´m sure that whatever you decide to do with you pickup it will look great! Keep up the progress!

P.S What about having a open bedcover with hinges so that the suspension still can be seen?

/Fredrik

Yo man!!! One more insane project!!!! very low!!! We like it!!!!

Ok, thanks.

I think the A suspention is mad, if it's the only way of lowering and showing off like that, build it.:bigthumb:

sounds like a intressting project! keep it up!

Hi guys! More few updatings:

Well, first of all, this is the kit:
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado/Silverado_02.jpg

These are the Aoshima's rims that I'll use in this project, of course with some modifications in the rear wheels (to represent the double wheels system):
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado/Silverado_03.jpg

Here, the Corvette ZR1 engine that I want to put under de hood:
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado/Silverado_04.jpg

In the bucket, I demarcated (with tape) the area that should be cut off to accommodate the double wheels system:
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado/Silverado_05.jpg
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado/Silverado_06.jpg

And the front wheels boxes already cut off
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado/Silverado_07.jpg

For now, that's all folks

looks like an insane project, i'l be following for sure.

as far as the rear wheel deep-dish, where did you locate the 'dish' from?

Nice. Keep up the good work

You're off to a promising start!!!:sunglasse

Nice work and insparation car. Hope to see more soon.

nice progress

Great Project!! Keep The Updates Coming!The "Mext Up" Truck Is Sweet!!
Your Dooley Has Forced Me To Restart A Project I Put To The Side A While Ago.
I'm Working One Myself, Here Is A Taste Of Whats To Come
http://img13.imagevenue.com/initial/loc24/0bb_Crew_Cab1.JPG
A Progress Thread Will Be Up Soon As I Can Get It Ready For Primer As
The Body Will Need Alot Of Work Before I Can Spray It(LOL)
Maybe We Can Restart The Custom Truck Thread!

Hey evo8owner, where did you get this resin body? I liked a lot!

Updatings:

Well, I am concentrating on the inferior part of the kit, more precisely in how to accommodate the Corvette engine and the chassis as well. The pieces are not still totally ended. They lack to sand and to get right the edges. But only for tests, it's ok.

Here, I made the hole in the console, so the gearbox can be fit:
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado/Silverado_08.jpg

The engine already positioned
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado/Silverado_09.jpg

Now, with styrene pieces, I am covering the floor holes. Here, under console
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado/Silverado_10.jpg

Here, the part under the back seat
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado/Silverado_11.jpg

and finally the new floor (acrylic shape)

Here, the frames. Left side photo = front. Right side photo = rear
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado/Silverado_13.jpg

Frames in the place

Test with the rear axis and the double wheels
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado/Silverado_15.jpg

Now, in the engine area, I sanded the firewall edges so the engine and other accessories could perfectly fit
http://www.alexandre.taschner.nom.br/Geral/Silverado/Silverado_16.jpg

That’s all folks!

Looks great, keep it low :D

it still isn't low enough you know. I'd give it another 3" drop bud.



lol. Nice work man, can't wait to see it finished!

Hey,

Awsome progress so far! I can't wait to see this finnished!!
evo8owner- where did you get the 4 dr cab from? Resin I'm guessing? What brand? Good luck to the both of you with ur projects.:-D

Frank X.

Fantastic build! Very quality work on it. You've gone the extra mile making it look fantastic and it will be so worth it. Fantastic!

Hey,

Can you please show the how you did the rear dual wheels? You should get the cowl hood from the other pick-up kit-or make one. A cowl hood would look cool.

Frank X.

thats awesome i like the offset in the rear wheels

Hey,

You liked to play with styrene, hehehe (show what you made with one Bel Air). It is very good, again congratulations!


See'ya!

Coming along quite well!! great stuff!!:sunglasse
